<p>"You can find the “Standard of Care” flow charts for every cancer type. "<p>This is good advice for any non simple medical problem. Because while you may not have the book knowledge and definitely not the clinical experience you probably can tell when your care is deviating from standard care.</p>

<p>""code can be result of macro expansion"<p>Might be wrong but the big issue with warning about UB probably isn't C it's C++ and it's templates. Modern C is mostly what you see is all there is. Where with C++ lord knows really.<p>C is often a bit slower than C++. Which also means trading a little speed to eliminate UB isn't a big hit. Where doing that inside a template expansion can slow things down a lot.<p>My preferred solution is people stop using C++.</p>

<p>The Santa Clara HWY 85 extension because it was built without federal funds was able to totally ban trucks over 4 tons and 30 years later is in decent condition. It was also built lighter and thus cheaper to build.</p>

<p>Discussion about this I heard 50 years ago is the alternative to trucks tends to be rail. The real unfairness is railroads have to pay to maintain their infrastructure while trucks do not pay anything close to the costs for theirs.<p>If you forced trucks to pay for the damage they do to roads rail freight would be far more competitive.</p>

<p>Reminds me a political blogger complaining that the leaders of every slightly depressed muni in Pennsylvania thought that a gambling casino is just what's needed to revitalize the local economy.<p>Thing I sense is casino's actually depress local property values. You wonder if the taxes casino's generate don't cover the drop in property tax revenue.</p>

<p>As someone that designs battery powered RF devices. It's shocking an disheartening seeing stuff like that.<p>Things drawing an average of a few hundred microamps while the fan is running. Probably because it's blasting a keep alive packet once a second or so. It does that because a transceiver costs an extra 50 cents.</p>

One I saw you could stack them.<p>Then you had a basemount with terminal connections, screw, solder, etc.<p>I've handled decade encoders, stackable numbered encoders. The more convenient ones the the computer could read the selected numbers like you do keyboard matrix.<p>Peek 1960-70s industrial design.

<p>The people that complain about 'free parking' conveniently forget that land owners pay property taxes, vehicle and fuel taxes, and other taxes which go to maintaining the public roads. So it's not free. And society built a lot of infrastructure which requires most people to own a car in order to survive in it. That sort of bitching is the classic case where you shift blame to individuals for systematic issues beyond their control. And how much blame people get depends on class of course.</p>

<p>I found some data from an auto insurance association.<p>In US urban areas the average car is only driven 6000 miles a year. That's 115 miles a week. Someone in an urban city would only need to charge every two weeks. Friend has a Chevy Bolt in SF he parks on the street. He says it's not a problem.<p>I also repeat myself but I've measured how long it take to gas up a car on road trips. It's usually around 10-15 minutes. Oh sure actually filling the car is quick. But you have to drive to the gas station, fill the car, drive away from the gas station.</p>
